Cabin Fever has Officially Set In This is about
the time of year that cabin fever sets in like a cold stone
in my starved-for-sunshine soul. I start daydreaming of blue
skies, green grass, and clear chlorinated pools. I
hear birds chirping, squirrels chatting, and kids on
bike rides outside the open window. Of course, none of
these things are real just yet, but the hope is starting to
creep back in that winter will eventually end and
I’ll be outside sitting under a starry sky and
the red glow of a warm
patio heater,
eating a grilled hot dog. The advent of
the patio heater has revolutionized heating outdoors.
I’ve seen patio torches, outdoor
fireplaces, and patio stand-alone heaters cropping
up at the local swanky restaurants as well as the
buzzing dives. It made me start to think that having a patio
heater in my back yard might be a great way to extend those
highly longed for spring and summer nights. A patio
heater would be an easy and affordable way to take
advantage of all the extra daylight. I might actually
see my neighbors again if I installed an outdoor fireplace.
We’d all emerge from our hibernation, hungry
for the smell of fresh cut grass and grilling meat.
We’d gather around the flames of a patio torch or
cozy outdoor fire pit and talk about how good it feels
to have the winter at our backs. For now, as I sit in my cabin, all pent up with the fever I stare at the window and plan exactly where it is my patio torches, outdoor fireplace and patio heater will go. |
Throw a Block Party Around a Fire Pit and Earn Points with Your Neighbors As I watch the
snow fly in droves outside my front window this morning,
my head tilts back, flooded with nostalgic memories of
summer nights, firelight and friends. Although spring
and summer still feel far away tucked beneath this
thick blanket of winter snow, I can’t help but be
excited for the green grass and chilled nights of spring.
With the right
outdoor heating in place, I plan to take
advantage of the longer days and the kindness of my
friends and neighbors. I picture us huddled by an
outdoor fireplace or fire pit,
bellies full after a round of grilled burgers and potato
salad. We will swap stories of how we made it through
the winter, after gladly hanging up our coats and
scarves for another season, and we’ll enjoy the heat
of the fire pit as it shares its warmth with our
circle of friends. At one point, I envision a bag of
marshmallows being ripped open, stacks of graham
crackers handed out, and the chocolate bars unwrapped for
the ultimate s’more ending to our perfect star
lit evening. The social benefits aside, outdoor heating can promote healthy living as you master grilling fresh food and take advantage of the fresh air. Installing an outdoor fireplace or fire pit will lengthen your summer nights and add value to your home. Think of it as an affordable home improvement, a boost to your social scene, and a healthy and economical way to spend time with your family and friends.
